    Booting from external drive: Questions

    So, as I continue to explore the Boot Camp thing, my searching seems to point to the fact that Windows 10 won’t install itself on an external drive for booting from that drive without a lot of workarounds and, even if you somehow make that happen, the resulting installation thereafter won’t...

    Does anybody else find that the USB ports on all Macbook's often become faulty after a couple years? Even the slightest touch of my external hard drive will disconnect the device. And, the same thing happened on my old macbook. Is this another case of planned obsolescence from the guys and...

    Why does this USB numpad built for Mac have unpredictable layout mapping?

    I frequently need the number pad but I think it's in the wrong place for a right handed person: By barging to the middle where it still remains as the least used part of input devices, it forces you to extend your mouse hand to the far right so you're always uncomfortable and sore for being in...

    High Sierra 10.13.4 obscures volume labels

    Hi all, this is a correction on my complaint about USB devices on H.Sierra: With respect to accessing SONY Camera's, that was my own mistake; you should erase the camera memory, not format it.
